a much possible. We had planned to send
reception committee to meet his train at Rich
any committee to meet him, preferrine to como
to the city alone. We then decided to send
committee out to Irvington to board the train,
which would necessarily have to stop there a few
minutes but he objected to that so will let
him come to the getting off place without any
attendants"
"Will the Presidents train be followed by
special train2"
Eyes, l understand that directly behind it will
be special train for the accommodation of rep
resentatives of the press, and other people. who
desire TO accompany him on portion or all of
his tour. Arrangements will be made here to
afford the accompanying newspaper men all the
facilities possible although we do not know just
what they will desire yet
1T is a very big task, !" continued the General,
"to arrange for such a reception as we propose
to give in such short time. The President has
to be back in his car IN four hours from the
time he leaves it. and in order that he may not
be disappointed, everything will have TO be done
like clock There has been immense
ception. and the executive committee deserve
much credit for the splendid arrangements they
have made"
